Danny did our wedding 10 years ago. He was new and we trusted him completely. His attention to detail is awesome. He is very personable, profession and strives to deliver an exceptional finished product. Every time we watch our wedding video, I still get sappy. It's amazing the special little moments a videographer and photographer catch, that you didn't even realized happened until you see the final product. As a wedding vendor myself, I always recommend hiring a videographer for your event, you won't regret it. I would highly recommend Danny if you get the chance.

We can't say enough good things about Rose Event Company! Planning a wedding is never easy, but doing it in just 4 months, from across the country, and in a remote area with limited vendors seemed impossible—until we found Ashley. She took our vision of an intimate elopement with our closest family and friends, and turned it into the weekend of our dreams, managing every detail with perfection and making the entire process stress-free. From the moment we first spoke, I knew that Ashley was everything I was looking for. She is professional, organized, and full of creative ideas. Despite the challenges of our location, she found the perfect vendors to bring our vision to life. She understood our style and preferences right away and worked tirelessly to ensure everything was just as we envisioned. Even with the distance, Ashley was always available, responsive, and kept us updated every step of the way. She organized all the activities for our wedding weekend, including putting together our guest welcome bags. The entire weekend was a like a dream. Every single detail was meticulously executed, and we received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and seamless everything was. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, patient, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, look no further than Ashley. She made what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process into something fun and memorable. Thank you, Ashley for making our dream wedding a reality!

Working with J. Roman was a dream! We won an engagement shoot with J and quickly knew we wanted him as our wedding photographer after an engagement shoot that was so fun! He delivered hundreds of photos that we loved. His range is amazing; from moody and dark, to vintage and chic, to glam and bright, all the versions of photography you crave for your big day, J covers! We were open to J's eye when it came to moments and he worked seamlessly on our big day--him or his team never felt intrusive to a special moment. The raw emotion of the wedding day was captured so beautifully-we get to relive such a momentous day over and over through his art. He was incredibly professional, was very easy to work with and was so helpful in planning. J has delivered amazing results: 2500 photos for our wedding, which we received in exactly 3 weeks. We received the first short video within 4 weeks of the wedding as well for his photography and videography package. So grateful that we booked with J Roman and would recommend his over and over again!

Awarded Best of Zola
TL;DR: Kim Baker Beauty is fantastic and you should absolutely book them! When looking for a hair & makeup artist, as a queer couple, we were a little apprehensive about finding an artist who would be well-versed in hair & makeup for couples and weddings outside of heteronormative traditions. My partner was a little worried about finding someone who would "get it" in terms of their style--more minimal and masculine--and who wouldn't try to push them into doing a more feminine style. Kim and Audra both totally got it! Kim was super communicative throughout the whole process and was so great to work with. Due to unforeseen circumstances the week of our wedding, Kim couldn't make it--but she immediately organized one of her other artists, Audra, who did a truly superb job. My partner and I both got hair and makeup services. I had a more classic bridal look and my partner had more minimal makeup and their short hair styled. We both absolutely loved the way we looked and felt amazing on our wedding day! We wanted a calm, chill morning while getting ready for our wedding and Audra was lovely, so kind and easy to talk to, and had a very calm energy. Our hair and makeup lasted extremely well throughout the evening, even through hours of dancing! Kim and Audra are total pros and made us feel stunning on our wedding day. I can't recommend them highly enough!

As a veteran makeup artist, I take the time to understand each client's needs and preferences, providing individualized makeup recommendations that cater to their unique features and styles. Whether it's for editorial shoots, bridal looks, or avant-garde creations, I draw from a rich tapestry of global inspirations to craft makeup designs that resonate on a personal level.

It took me a little while to finally sit down and share my experience, but it’s something I knew I had to do. I got married in August 2024, and when it came to choosing someone to handle the makeup for my special day, Annaliza was my top choice. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and she is truly a perfectionist. Every brush stroke seemed carefully considered, and her work made me feel stunning and confident. The results were beyond my expectations, and I’m certain the wedding photos will do her artistry justice. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your look on such an important occasion, I wholeheartedly recommend Annaliza.

Dylan photographed our wedding at the Madonna Inn and did such a great job! We ended up with so many beautiful pictures that we could never decide which are our favorites and practically none of our friends were able to make it through the entire wedding album that we shared. He chatted with us in advance by phone, to go over all the details; and had plenty of good ideas for photo opportunities around the property on that day. Very happy with our choice to book Dylan on Zola!
